Planting & Care

Soil & Water: Plant in full sun in well-draining soil. Basil does not require fertile soil, however it performs best when organic matter is added. Provide even water throughout development.

Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, or sow directly once soil temperatures have reached at least 70°F. Pinch ends during development for a bushy plant. Sow heavily and thin to the most vigorous seedlings. Basil will not perform below 50°F; pot indoors during winter for a year-round supply.

Harvesting & Storage: Regular harvesting will keep production high. Use leaves fresh or frozen. Remove flower stalks to extend harvest. Be sure to make the last harvest prior to first frost.

Amazing Lemon Basil Seeds

These seeds are so great, I grew them last year and am happy to find that I saved a few in the package so I can grow again this year. They sprouted up very quickly and when I kept them regularly pruned they were very prolific plants, lots of leaves, and a great taste. They were great cooked but I would even eat them raw, sometimes directly off of the plant! Lovely flavor.
